    Opinions on Franconia day hikes

    Hmm.. I'll look more into Lonesome Lake and Eisenhower. Not looking to do a car shuttle since we'll be on vacation and will only have 1 car. This convo is really helpful, luckily I have about 3 more weeks to finish up my planning.

    Hi guys, OP here, I think I had a major brain fart here. I was reading through the info in the link that Puma posted and one of the tables describes you at "low" risk for AMS is "People with no prior history of altitude illness and ascending to <9,000 ft (2,750 m)" and then it hits me...

    Dealing with / avoiding altitude sickness (Utah)

    Thanks for that resource David. Very informative. HAPE and HACE sound downright scary. Some of the HACE symptoms of disorientation and bizarre behavior sound a lot like hypothermia symptoms. I'm definitely going to do my due diligence and go into this trip so I'm informed of what to look...

    Dealing with / avoiding altitude sickness (Utah)

    Thanks guys. Sounds like I should stay away from the Accli-Mate and that my best strategy will be to use good judgement. To answer some of your questions Doug. I'll be sleeping in Provo Utah on both Fri and Sat nights which is at an elevation of around 4,500 ft in the northern Utah valley. I...

    Dealing with / avoiding altitude sickness (Utah)

    Hey guys, I'm a northeast hiker (NY, NJ, NH, etc.) but I'm flying into northern Utah for a 2 day hiking excursion in mid Sept. I'm slightly concerned about how my body will handle hiking at these elevations. I've been over 5k in the Whites and ADK's but I'll be hiking to the summit of Mount...
